Guestbook comments from the owner

Well, another successful stay! This year we let our daughter bring a friend. They went geocaching and found one right down the road. The weather allowed for some beautiful hiking in Rough Lock Falls. Until next year!

Exceeded expectations. Loved it!

The Chateau de Soleil is the nicest place we've ever stayed. Very beautiful, clean, quiet, and kid friendly for our whole family. My husband and I brought all three children, their spouses, and 7 grandchildren (8 and under). The tree house is right out of "The Hobbit". We all loved it. The game room was popular with the 6 and 8 year olds, and the adults. The house is spacious and lovely, and there wasn't anything we needed. The upper deck was our hang-out spot. Gordon and Audrey were friendly and helpful. The house is within driving distance of all Black Hills attractions. We did, however, skip a few attractions to spend more time at the house. We hope to stay here again in the future and would highly recommend the house to our friends.

Absolutely LOVED this place

What a wonderful place to stay. There is something for everyone at this place. The tree house is truly amazing. The home is very warm and friendly, easy to get to and close enough to activities in the area. We would highly recommend this property.

Owner's Response: Audrey and I are thrilled you all enjoyed the Chateau and look forward to your next stay in the beautiful Black Hills.

WOW!

WOW --- what a very incredibly grand place! We took our 3 daughters, their husbands and 8 grandchildren for a weekend stay to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. VERY relaxing and what a SUPER home and location! We enjoyed everything about the place. Sitting on the HUGE deck area was very relaxing and the scenery can't be beat if you like the outdoors. Plenty of sleeping room for us all. The kids (old & young) thought the "game room" was lots of fun and spent much time enjoying it. The grandchildren were totally amazed with the 'sleep-able' tree house! They spent a lot of time playing and watching movies. They also LOVED the sky patio / walk area --- interesting use of space. We had planned a number of events to do while in the Hills --- so if we were to do it again --- we would plan MORE time at the beautiful home just RELAXING! Several of us also enjoyed the hiking that could be done just out the back door. What a wonderful experience and something we will ALL remember for years to come. THANK YOU to the owners for being so accommodating. The extra "treat" bonus left for us to enjoy was a very pleasant surprise and enjoyed by all. My husband & I would love to go again with a group of our adult friends and just enjoy the beautifulness of not only the home but also the Hills area. THANK YOU for the memories!

Owner's Response: Lori thank you so much for the wonderful review! Audrey and I love sharing the Chateau to make memories last a life time. People often ask us how can we not live there full time, Audrey and I get more satisfaction sharing the home and getting wonderful feedback on how special the Chateau is. Again we are delighted you enjoyed the home and hope you may get the opportunity to visit again.

A fun, adventuous house with a very comforting home like decor that warms the Soul!!!

My wife's family has a reunion every 2 years and it was my wife's turn to host it. Since we live out East and they all live out West we prayed about it and decided to have it out west to make expenses cheaper in the long run. In answer to our prayer we were led to SD and in searching for a place that could hold the bunch of us we found this AWESOME HOUSE!!! I have to say what caught our attention, to rent this house, was the Happy Glow that emulated from the pictures!!! The pictures were inviting like and old friend saying come and visit with me and we did this past July of 20016! The house, decor and the Hobbit tree house has a very Home like feel to it that makes you just want to stay and enjoy the Kind and Loving Spirit that envelops this house! I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants this kind of experience!!! We had a spectacular time and Gordon and Audrey were right there when we had any needs they took care of it!!! Thank You Gordon and Audrey for opening your home to us because the memories will Bless Us years to come!!! God Bless!!!
